              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: A.Townsend
Reset the mirror covers at checkout.
Reconnected the Agile filter wheel, which I noticed was disconnected while testing tui3; Gordon updated a few of the scripts and we tested them. No problems using tui3 for regular observing tonight.
Nice clear weather with decent seeing! We had some thin clouds during B-half but nothing that obstructed observations.
DSSI cart is parked between NA2 and NICFPS so that the instrument can remain plugged
in, but beware of the cord across the floor at NA2.
Nice quiet night, the telescope behaved well, and DSSI got a lot of time on sky!
